Merry Christmas

If everything goes right we’ll be on the road this afternoon and hopefully make it at least half way to Florida. Although this will be short trip it should be fun.
The whole back of the car is full of presents. The only thing left to pack are the clothes but that shouldn’t take too long.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too if I’m not back before then.

Setup?

Just came across this at Debbie Schlussel's site.

This is about U.S. Airways Flight 300 and the Imam's that were removed from the flight. This is an account of someone who was actually on the plane. Her name is Pauline Klemmer. Very Interesting.

Also, following that game is the SEC Championship game. Go Gators!!!

Update:

That long?

It’s been way too long since my last post. Only one after Columbus Day and now we have Veteran’s Day.
Although I do have to work again, I’m not complaining. The people honored today didn’t complain either, right?

Anyway, now I can be even more thankful for their service, since I am an American too!

Thank you.

What happened?

No posts for weeks! I am outraged. Well lucky you, I just got a free extra hour yesterday so maybe I’ll get to post more often now. Right.

Happy Columbus Day

While most of you will be enjoying a nice day off I will be working. Somebody’s got to earn the money.

Work Work Work

To expand on my previous post, I also bake cookies, which I will be doing this weekend to ensure the hubby has an adequate supply for the following week.
Sometimes I just can’t stand myself because I am so great.

Have a nice weekend!!

Best Wife Ever.

Yes, that would be me. Just ask the husband.
I like to have a beer with him, or go to a bar, or even a strip club.
I not only like sports and also watch it with him, I also get him sports memorabilia, which is just what I did.
I am truly the greatest!

Again?

Victim in Murder-Suicide Sought Protective Order

What got me was this sentence:
The murder victim, Jackie M. Lewis, 57, had sought a temporary protective order against the suicide victim, her longtime boyfriend Arthur J. Comer, 57.

Suicide victim? How about murderer?

Oktoberfest

For those of you living in the Washington DC area, Ft. Belvoir is having their annual Oktoberfest this weekend. I know it pales in comparison to the real deal, but it’s actually not that bad. I personally don’t need the food but the beer is good and the people are a lot of fun.

Scratchy Throat

More like a tickle but it’s still bothering me like crazy. Have you ever sat next to a person who constantly clears their throat? Well, don’t sit next to me.

Thanks

Good timing Ted! I was debating what to write for my “I’m back”-post and then you comment. I almost gave up but who could resist?? Thanks:)

I don’t think I like Continental Airlines. The flight and all was good, but what bugged me was that on the way back I had to get my luggage and go through customs just to give it back so I can go on and catch my connecting flight to DC. Which of course did not work as planned since my one suitcase decided to take it slow. Lucky me I only had to wait two hours for the ext flight and I got to test the bar at the gate.

Other than that Germany was great. The weather sucked, but that was to be expected. Grandma is doing all right. She had a bad day when I saw her and kept closing her eyes. I am glad though that we took the time to travel one day just to see her. The wedding was good too. My dad made me dance the Twist and all I knew was the Waltz. Life just sucks, doesn’t it?

Anywho, I have tons of work to do which at least keeps me busy and I can’t even think about jetlag.

Alright

Before I go on my vacation, which is not a vacation since I am visiting family and have to attend a wedding-thing, I thought I better post one last time. I am slowly but surely drifting off into no-posts land again so I have yet another reason to refine my typing and writing technique, however useless that might be.
Anywho. Life is good and getting better. Very soon I’ll be on my way to good old Germany. Hopefully the weather will improve since I want to work on my tan. NOT. If all goes well, I will also get to see my one and only grandmother. I am thinking that it will probably be the last time so I’m gonna give her a big ole hug, no matter if she knows who I am or not.

Yeah!

I was going to post about how depressing it is getting older and all and then Castro actually made my day.
I can’t wait until he’s dead.

4 weeks, baby

Just four more weeks and I’ll be on my way to good old Germany, which means that in less than five weeks my brother is finally getting married. Since his wife-to-be is going to take over her father’s business one day, they have decided that my brother will take on their family name. Normally I would think that this is way too cheesy but in our family’s case you want to get rid of the family name. My dad is the main proponent if that.
The problem is, that my dad got his last name from the guy my biological grandmother happen to be married to at the time of his birth, which was less than nine months after they got married. That guy figured it out and left her. So she thought it would be cool to take the next best idiot and run off with him to West Germany, leaving my dad in an orphanage until his grandparents took him in a few years later. Bitch.
I might have mentioned that before. Anywho, my lovely c**t-grandmother never thought it would be nice to tell my dad who his real father is, but she’s probably not even sure. Whore. There is really only one other offspring of hers that is normal and he has come to the conclusion that his mother is a bitch too. He’s actually my favorite uncle and I only know him for half of my life; since I grew up in the East and he was living in the West.
The good part about this whole thing is though that I was always able to call my dad a son of a bitch without any problems.
That’s my family!

NASCAR?

Ok I don’t follow NASCAR really. I know some drivers and all but it’s not anything interesting to me since I love Formula One racing which I think is much more challenging.

I just read a story about Juan Pablo Montoya, who just got let go by the McLaren Mercedes. I hate him with a passion because he’s an ass. Well, Mr. Montoya is apparently preparing for his next career in NASCAR. What a joke. Now I might actually have top watch it so I can see him crash though…

I am so turning into an American, it’s not even funny, y’all ;))

Update: Formula1.com has an article on this.

Sore Loser

I am one, but that’s OK. I currently hate Italy and everything Italian, which is very hard because I USED to like Pizza.

This shouldn’t last long though, especially since I kind of cheated this weekend with Italian wine.

We went to Charlottesville, VA, which was just beautiful. I like little mini-vacations and will definitely do those more often.

New Book

I finally finished the Chronicles of Narnia. I was on my way to work and HAD to get a new book, so I picked up “The Dante Club” by Mathew Pearl. It sounded interesting and so far it is. It started out a little boring but I am getting to an interesting and more exciting part now. We’ll see.
